Summary

The UAE's Hydrogen Leadership Roadmap is a comprehensive national blueprint to support domestic low-carbon industries, contribute to the net-zero emissions ambition, and position the country as a competitive exporter of clean hydrogen, as stated in the Updated Second Nationally Determined Contribution of the United Arab Emirates.

The Roadmap comprises three core objectives:
  1. Unlocking new sources of value creation through exports of low carbon hydrogen, derivatives and products to key importing regions;
  2. Fostering new hydrogen derivative opportunities through low-carbon steel, sustainable kerosene as well as other priority UAE industries; and
  3. Contributing to the UAE's 2050 net zero commitments. 

The UAE aims to support the low-carbon hydrogen business through five enablers:
  1. A clear regulatory framework backed by policies, incentives, standards, and certifications;
  2. Best-in-class technology through value-add partnerships and the UAE domestic research and development structure;
  3. Access to existing and new Government-to-Government relationships to accelerate growth of a domestic ecosystem;
  4. Readily available land and infrastructure resources to support domestic production; and
  5. Green financing within the UAE and in international capital markets.
